i have been driving my 90 lx that i just bought (see mods below) and it seems like it is sucking the gas down a lot quicker than my 89 lx. Any idea how many miles/gallon or tank i should be getting with these mods? I am about half way down and have gone only 60 miles!!!!!! hopefully it is the type that it drops quick to half and then takes a while the last half! PLEASE let me be right. anyone know what i shiould be getting?

This has been city driving- stop n go. Thanks!

ALSO, I dont think I have even gone that far (60 miles) becasue my speedo is off which would inturn make the odomoter roll faster than it is really going WTF!
